In medium saucepan, melt margarine. Blend in flour and pepper. Stir in
milk. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring
constantly. Reduce heat. Cut beef into shreds; add to cream sauce and heat
through. Serve over toast points or mashed potatoes.
TIPS: One 2-1/2 oz. jar sliced dried beef may be substituted for the
package. To elminate salty flavor, separate slices, cover with boiling
water; drain immediately. Continue as directed.
Other seasonings could include: 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (add with flour),
2 tablespoons chopped onion (cook in margarine until tender), 1 cup
shredded cheese (add with beef), 1 tablespoon parsley (add with beef).
NOTE: The secret to a sauce using a roux (mixture of flour and fat) as the
thickening agent is to carefully cook the roux prior to adding the liquid.
It requires constant stirring and maybe removal from the heat periodically
before the "flour" taste is cooked away.
Substitute 2 tablespoons cornstarch for the flour. Combine the milk, pepper
and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and
thickens, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat; add margarine and shredded beef to cream sauce. Return to
low heat and heat through. Serve over toast, mashed potatoes, cooked rice
or cooked noodles.

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
